During our first coffee date, we spent an hour and a half getting to know each other on the bridge at Monon. We enjoyed each other so much that we became a couple. We took this photo at the same spot again, where our story began.

We really enjoyed spending time together. We went to the art museum, and we were in awe and very impressed. We admired all the pictures on the wall drawn by Van Gogh and listened to the music playing. It was very romantic.

We often took a weekend walk at Cool Creek Park. Jonathan shared many stories about the time he spent at Cool Creek during his high school years. These occasions were filled with laughter and love.

Jonathan spent the entire day at his mother's house preparing flowers and candles to surprise me with a proposal while my mother was still in the United States. I was so surprised when I first walked through the door because I wasn't sure what was happening. Jonathan's excitement made the moment unforgettable.

We had a busy year in 2024. Sedef moved to New Jersey for her job and moved back in the fall. Towards the end of the year, we bought our own house! We are so excited to begin our lives together!
